I'm not too bad but my allergies are horrible today. So far, I'm resisting taking an allergy pill because they make me SO tired...I literally have to fight to stay awake.

Are you laughing at me when I say that? Other than I feel like I'm driving like an old lady until I figure out where all the nasty potholes are that I didn't have to think about before I had rims, I'm guessing no.

Darryl: there are pictures of the rims in my garage but it's hard to see them as they really look. They do change colors (the black part), sometimes they look like a midnight blue, sometimes black, sometimes purple.

Good morning, Mikey...

Looking good, Lisa!

You can probably get the color shift to pop in a photo if you can get someone outside the photo to hold a whiteboard or white poster board up to reflect some sunlight onto the rims from the side. That way you get more than one direction of light on them.

I like them because I don't see anything else around here that looks even close. As it is, I get people who OWN Yarii asking me what kind of car mine is. :o) Nobody else is modding their around here but there are LOTS of them.

Nope, not laughing. Usually aftermarket rims will weigh less than stock steel wheels. Was just wondering, I definitely noticed an increase when I had my 15" black ones.

I won't know until I fill up again...which for me won't be for another week or so.

I'm hoping that's true...it would be a nice benefit. I assume the gasoline has been switched from winter weight to summer by now, that will help with the MPGs, too.
